KDE Community Ships First Release Candidate of the 4.6 Free Desktop, Applications and Development Platform

December 23rd, 2010. Right before christmas, KDE has published the firstcandidate for the upcoming release of KDE 4.6.0. The focus at this stage is onfixing bugs and completing translations and artwork. As such, the rework ofthe Oxygen icon set is nearing completion, many bugs reported by testers inthe past weeks have been fixed and stabilization is still in full swing.KDE's release team has decided to not include the new release of KDE-PIM,containing the Kontact groupware client and the new KMail2 which is based onthe Akonadi groupware cache in this release due to open issue with migrationof large sets of data from the traditional client. These bugs are being workedon as we speak, but the risk at this point is too high to include the newKontact in the 4.6.0 release. Therefore, it has been decided to release KMail2and its companions together with one of the subsequent 4.6 releases, likely4.6.1 one month later. A 3rd beta version of the kdepim module is availablealready.

As the other components of the frameworks, workspaces and applications arenearing release date, KDE encourages testers to give their favorite softwaresome final thorough testing. The last chance for feedback will be the secondrelease candidate, planned for 5th January 2011. The final release of 4.6.0will be available on January, 26th 2011.
